The San Francisco 49ers are expected to pursue a significant trade for an edge rusher as training camp approaches. NFL insiders suggest that the move may be driven by the Los Angeles Rams' acquisition of Myles Garrett, following a season in which the 49ers ranked last in sack rate and third-lowest in pressure rate.

Potential trade targets include New York Giants' Kayvon Thibodeaux and Arizona Cardinals' Josh Sweat, who has requested a trade.
